A bronze/copper-alloy bowl with a rounded body and wide rim, photographed against a neutral background.

The image shows a single shallow bowl formed from a copper-alloy metal. The bowl has a thick, rounded side profile and a flat, wide opening with a slightly thickened rim. The surface shows patination/scuffing and an overall warm metallic tone. Near the right side of the exterior, there is a small red handwritten marking (likely a catalog/collection inventory number), but no clear carved or painted Egyptian hieroglyphs or textual inscription are visible on the object itself. No deities or royal iconography/cartsouches are apparent.
